I am not the greatest of fan's of All Black's captain, Sam Cane.

Maybe that clouds my assessment of his kicking out at a young fan on the ground almost straight after the ABs-Argentinian test match in Mendoza last Saturday.
Just maybe there is a link to Cane's impulsive tripping up of a 14 year old racing away from security guards and his often ignoring or lack of vision on support players when he has the ball and is making some ground.
Anyway he has apologised several times and sent the young budding half back a set of AB gear.

First up: MOVEMENT 🏃♀️🕺🤸♂️🚴♀️
Daily movement has been proven in countless research articles to provide benefit for immune function, reduced risk of conditions like heart disease and diabetes, and improvements in mental health!
A recent systematic review found the 150 minutes of mild-moderate exercise per week can provide substantial protection against chronic diseases - particularly cardiovascular outcomes.
Another review found that physical exercise is the single most effective prescriptive treatment for improving symptoms of depression & anxiety. 🤯😵💫
150 minutes per week equates to 21 minutes per day, or just 1.45% of your day total!
✅ So get out for a brisk walk, jump on the bike, get to the pool, or simply chuck on some Dua Lipa and dance for 20 minutes! Your body will thank you for it! 💃🕺
Keep an eye out for our next Winter Wellness instalment - SLEEP

I cannot believe that a restaurant whose staff must know the Mayor from her frequency of visits and her profile would have treated her as a sacrificial meal and whose manager/owner was so willing to take the Mayor through the media wringer as he did.
Ok, so a bill was not paid by ANOTHER member of her twosome until the next day - on no prompting by the restaurant.
OK that the Mayor was tipsy/slightly drunk as the result of a kind of celebration of a successful major task for Wellington's benefit. Give her a lot of rope I would say and yes, just refrain from serving her and her friend any more alcohol but maybe offer to call her a cab.
It was shabby and un-neighbourly. Treating a young, hard working, vivacious woman the way this so called upmarket restaurant did.
Reminds me a little of the way another young woman of note was treated and who consequently suddenly resigned from NZ's top job. I hope Whanau stays the course not that I am a fan of some of the planks she stood for in her winning an election by a landside in trouncing dour, drab male opponents of little vision.

Upper Hutt Business and Professional Women (BPW UH) are running a free, one day Be Your Own Boss expo on 11 July at Lane Park Church to introduce people to the pros and cons of working in self- employment, gig working, contracting and consulting. Timed to coincide with the Matariki celebration, many people may use the time to reconsider their careers and their employment.
With a wide variety of new employment and career opportunities in Upper Hutt, and a growing local population, the members of UPBPW who are organising and hosting the day, believe it’s a perfect time to talk about possible career changes and the opportunities for themselves and their children in this new environment.
At the Expo, people will have the opportunity to hear from potential employers, from people who are already successful in self-employment and consulting and the opportunities for gig workers. A key-note speaker is Kristy Grant, CEO of Lane Street Studios. The recently opened film studios in Upper Hutt has the potential to engage hundreds of contractors, gig workers and support people in the film industry. Other speakers will talk about their own experiences in self-employment, the traps and how to avoid them, the discipline needed to set your own goals and the variety of opportunities that are available.
One of the organisers, Gail Godtschalk, said “when starting my own business 25 years ago I had the support of a trainer and mentor who gave me the pros and cons of being in business and how to navigate a way through. I would recommend to anyone to find their own supporters!” Upper Hutt Business and Professional Women offer collegiality and a safe environment for women to share experiences, talk about employment issues and lobby government on issues relevant to business and professional women.
Today Gail runs a successful massage therapy treatment clinic in Upper Hutt and is a member of BPW UH.
Join us this Tuesday, 11 July from 9am at Lane Church. You can register at the door or here: www.eventbrite.com...
